A sports guy on the radio speaks and this is what I hear: Blah blah blah>I'm just spewing hot air>, blah blah blah.
It would be exceptionally phenomenal if Butler turned into a shut down corner. He is, though, not current;y a SDC and certainly not Revis (important to note he is also not Revis cap space dedication too). Butler is a first year starter looking to prove he belongs a starter (and doing a good job so far).
AFAIC Revis can suck it. After signing a sweet contract -- good for him on that -- he decided to be a first class jerk. So eff him. We paid him under market value, used him for what we needed, got what we needed, he is now back where he belongs (and on a sucky team) while we are looking as good if not better than last year. Sure, he's a great corner but it wouldn't surprise me that, overall, our defensive potency is the same as last year.
Look, we do not require Butler to replace Revis at Revis' level (and blowhard radio nitwits trying to make Butler something he is not is laughable). We just need him/the secondary to play satisfactory. That's it, that is all we need. Add that to the other parts of the Patriots and this will equal a very very capable team -- a team that is as capable if not more so than last year.
